Balcony - two months later

So in the two months since we've planted our balcony paradise it has succumbed to mildew and has been attacked by some sort of little white insects. The invaders had a main culinary preference for raspberries but didn't refuse to try some blueberries as well. So Jack and I took a trip to the nearest hardware store and bought some organic insecticide and fungicide, which he very kindly sprayed on the plants. It has helped a little but we need to do it another one or two times.

So far everything has been surviving except for one lavender, which dried out and did not come back to life after my resuscitation attempts.

Kids have been very helpful picking out weeds, but haven't really shown much interest in actually eating the berries...

In the meantime there has been a little harvest...
